So I have four spiders in premolt. My B Vagans (2.75") has eaten two decent sized roaches this week, but I finally saw its rump (she's been in her new burrow all month), and it's super dark. My G Aureostriata (1.5") and B Smithi (1.5") haven't eaten for a month and their rumps are huge and shiny. And my L Parahybana (1") hasn't eaten in 2-3 weeks either.
It's been chilly in the house, so I put a space heater near their tanks on low to warm them up a bit. I can tell it is working because when I woke up this morning they were all hugging the sides of their containers that face the space heater. The T's are on a shelves about 3' and 4' off of the ground, and the space heater is on pretty low, so I don't feel like they'll get cooked or anything.
I seem to see people posting and saying "My T's in pre-molt" and then the next day coming online to say that their Ts finally molted. Here's hoping that technique works for me. I've got this new B Dubia colony and I'm itching to start feeding some of these babies to my T's.
